Measuring lung function earlier in life would help identify people at risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and allow for more timely interventions, according to a new study ...

Thoracic vertebral fractures may worsen lung function and reduce lung volumes in patients with interstitial lung disease.

A study has shown how lung capacity evolves from childhood to old age. Until now, it was thought that lung function increased until it peaked at around 20-25 years of age, after which it stabilized.

The combined actions of elastin, collagen and surface tension, along with a supporting network of muscles and connective tissues, create lung capacity. This is the total volume of air in the lungs ...

“Our results suggest that oscillometry . . . may serve as valuable, noninvasive biomarkers for early detection, risk stratification, and longitudinal monitoring of IPF,” the authors concluded.
